Newbie question: I would like to run a powershell script (.ps1) at the end of the inno-setup install. Can anyone give me a tip on where to put this? I want the user prompted to be asked if he wants to run this script.
Oh yes, what this script does is run netsh.exe to open up a port, the script is clever and it grabs Env:username and Env:userdomain from the current context. Would the context be the admin who is running the setup? or would it be the original user that ran the setup.exe?
(See the help for more details.) By default this will display a checkbox and run under the original user’s context (although it depends a bit on how the installer is run).
You might want to reconsider this approach, though; if you are performing a machine-wide install then you should probably open the port machine-wide too. You can do this with pure Inno code calling WinAPIs — no powershell required. (Which is a good thing, because it might not be installed.)
Alternatively if you want to keep it a per-user setting you should consider making your application prompt the user for a decision on first run. After all, why give an option to only one of the many possible users of your app?
